Some days ago i shared a picture from a epic road trip http://goo.gl/vxZZO, this is the landscape that goes with it.

PS: this is not a complain, but i'm not understanding how the add pictures work now, i used to add pictures to my album and then it would appear with the link to the album, now it suggests to share the album instead, do i need to share just the pic and then move it to the album ?

Sorry for being so slow this days, i'm hosting a friend and that leads to a huge backlog of pictures to edit.

Thank you very much to everyone that has sent me birthday wishes :) i have to admit that they were totally unexpected, but it felt really good to receive so many nice messages from people i have only "met" online and from some that i had the pleasure to meet in person because of this platform.

I have not been very active around here, but I have a good excuse, I spent last week in New York doing what I love the most, wandering around, meeting new people, new places and shooting shooting shooting.

I did things a bit differently this time, i shoot a lot with my medium format camera, i already have the results and i'm happy with them, but i'm still not sure on how to present them as it is completely different from what i usually do and present here.

For now i leave you with a picture i took on an awesome day where i decided to go explore Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Brooklyn. ﻿

I like the first plan in this shot, but the background is to messy for my own taste. In this one i also got the tones i was more or less expecting from the Fuji Neopan, the light was not so good in the days i shot with this film, so i will blame it on that for now.

I was walking around Bastille some weeks ago and stumbled into a manifestation, it was a good opportunity to test a lens that i picked some time ago, a Elmar-C 90mm, its weird for me to take pictures with a small tele but it was a fun experience, once again i'm happy with the results.

The Portuguese Colonial War (Portuguese: Guerra Colonial Portuguesa), also known in Portugal as the Overseas War (Guerra do Ultramar) or in the former colonies as the War of liberation (Guerra de Libertação), was fought between Portugal's military and the emerging nationalist movements in Portugal's African colonies between 1961 and 1974. The Portuguese regime was overthrown by a military coup in 1974, and the change in government brought the conflict to an end. The war was a decisive ideological struggle in Portuguese-speaking Africa and surrounding nations, and mainland Portugal.

Maybe i got a bit nostalgic or something like that, but when i saw this scene i thought to myself "this is really Lisboa", the so beloved azulejos on the walls, that everyone loves but no one preserves, the signs of construction (or deconstruction), the clothes hanging outside, this permanently unfinished state.

Anyway i'm starting to believe that Tri-x is good medicine for nostalgy, its working quite well for me.

It's always good to spend some days back home and follow the paths that i know so well. Another film this time developed in Kodak D-76, once again i'm happy with the results, i think the analog journey will continue.

A compilation of some of the pictures taken during this year 2012. As we come to an end to another year , i just wanted to look back and collect some of my memorable shots.﻿___Really cool stuff in +Dhruv Dhakan stream, go take a look :)

The metronome is a permanent reminder in the area to memorialize the Czech struggles under communism. Cutting a wide path, the hand of the red metronome is over 75 feet long and is easily visible from the city and bridges below. While the metronome itself symbolizes the long struggle against Soviet control, the location of the metronome is a symbol as well.Prior to the metronome’s construction, the site atop Letna Hill was home to the largest statue of Stalin in the world. more http://goo.gl/rMUU8

Here is what i have been up to this month, i have been shooting with a M6 and having a lot of fun with it. This week i finally received a tank and some chemicals and developed some of the films at home, i'm quite happy with the results.

I had a layover in Istanbul on my way to Tel Aviv, so i decided to leave to the city center and try to catch some pictures during the 5 hours i spent there. In the end i took a bus to Taksim square and from there i wandered around ending in Galata bridge. On the way to Galata bridge i stumbled upon some stairs that were familiar to me, they were the stairs pictured by my good friend +Adde Adesokan in one of my favorite pictures from him, follow the link to see it http://goo.gl/LPu0o and go through the album.

I felt that the world is small, this is not true, the world is huge, but i'm glad that i wandered around and made it a bit smaller.
